IEEMA the industrial association for Electrical Industries is very proactive in educating and creating awareness in the market. Today IEEMA has announced a very insightful workshop on Power Quality and Reactive Power Compensation. Take a look at the agenda and get in touch today to be part of this excellent program. We will meet you there.

Objective

Reactive Power Management has become very important now-a-days because of introduction of power factor based tariff. Power Factor (PF) is crucial in all Electrical Power utilizing environments. A good understanding of Power Factor is essential for practicing Electrical Engineers and middle level managers as a good control of PF could lead to many advantages – energy saving, reduction of current loading, higher output from motor and generators, longer life for cables and equipment – to mention a few. However, the equipment that is used to improve power factor interacts with network harmonics and brings down overall reliability. This workshop addresses such issues and gives solution to mitigate these problems.

10:00 am to 5:00 pm

Key Benefits
